OK, can I point you at this web site that lists all the CDs with deliberately error-laden data to try to fool computer CD drives. It is not an incorrect assumption but a well-documented one with several sites reporting deliberately corrupted CDs, usually by missing out informatrion such as time-stamps. http://ukcdr.org/issues/cd/bad/#uk I have had to return discs that won't play in my car because of these types of copy protection. Zero 7 was the last one. Furthermore I wasn't suggesting in any way that error correction was happening all of the time, just some of the time. It's also in the New Scientist: http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn998 It's going to get worse, audio quality will be degraded in order to stop discs being read in computer drives. -- CardinalFang ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CardinalFang's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=962 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18991 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
